Happiness

If you run after things, nothing will come to you.  The sea never sends and invitation to the rivers.  That's why they run to the sea.  The sea is content.  It doesn't need anything.  That's the secret in life.  Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.

Lego analog computer: rebuilding the Antikythera Mechanism

In 1901 a curious mechanism was recovered from the Antikythera Shipwreck.   An analog computer built to calculate astronomical positions, its time of construction is now estimated to be between 150 and 100 BCE.   2000 years later, the mechanism was rebuilt using Lego.  Watch the whats and hows of the Antikythera Mechanism in this video :)
